Dialogue

|
|
The child was surrounded by people in thick suits of armor.
|
|
Each individual carried a large nail in one hand, and in the other was a hammer so massive that it almost seemed improbable to hold with a single grip.
|
N Corp. Mittelhammer Faithful Inquisitor
|
Hear me, Großhammer.
|
|
One of them approached the child to report…
|
N Corp. Mittelhammer Faithful Inquisitor
|
The shadows of heresy are no longer seen in this area.
|
N Corp. Großhammer Meursault
|
……
|
|
The child, referred to as a Großhammer, gently exhaled. His breath trembled ever so slightly.
|
N Corp. Großhammer Meursault
|
You may return now.
|
|
The child’s voice is always low and aloof.
|
|
His vocalizations were reflected by the mask that covers his face at all times, giving his voice a holy-sounding echo.
|
N Corp. Mittelhammer Faithful Inquisitor
|
What about you, Großhammer…
|
N Corp. Großhammer Meursault
|
I have a duty to see it to the end, for the One Who Grips has ordered it.
|
N Corp. Mittelhammer Faithful Inquisitor
|
If that is what the One Who Grips wishes.
|
|
Clatter, clatter.
|
|
All the others left the space, leaving the child alone in that corpse-littered corridor.
|
N Corp. Großhammer Meursault
|
Huff…
|
|
|
The child removes his mask.
|
|
It revealed his concealed side.
|
|
A small mechanical device covers his mouth. Green tubes are eerily embedded in his skin.
|
|
Right, that gadget must belong to K Corp.
|
N Corp. Großhammer Meursault
|
My faith… is draining.
|
|
The child’s voice was now far shakier. It wasn’t brought about by fear or dread.
|
|
It’s a swelling, the struggle of something trying to break free.
|
N Corp. Großhammer Meursault
|
Ugh!
|
|
The tremble soon subsides, however.
|
|
It seems the child did something with the device about his mouth. The liquid in its tubes drained into it in an instant.
|
N Corp. Großhammer Meursault
|
I… am purity…
|
|
Clatter, clatter.
|
N Corp. Großhammer Meursault
|
A hammer… loyal to the One Who Grips…
|
|
The child wore his mask once again.
|
|
Thus, he walked away, muttering to himself.
